This clinical symposium will focus on the current state of the art for advanced tissue resection techniques (specifically ESD) and strategies for achieving the goal of reimbursement…
BACKGROUND: There is a lack of data on training benchmarks to define competence in colorectal EMR (C-EMR) among advanced endoscopy trainees (AETs). Previous pilot data from our group demonstrated a relatively low proportion of AETs achieve competence on key cognitive and technical aspects of C-EMR…

Current guidelines advise esophagectomy for submucosal esophageal adenocarcinoma (T1b EAC). However, data from retrospective studies suggest that endoscopic follow-up (FU) may be a valid alternative in patients without signs of lymph node metastases (LNM) at baseline…
Training in interventional endoscopy is offered by interventional endoscopy fellowship programs (IEFPs) not accredited by the ACGME. The number of these programs has increased exponentially with a concurrent increase in the breadth and complexity of these procedures…
BACKGROUND: G-POEM has emerged as a treatment for medically refractory gastroparesis. Safe and effective mucosal closure is necessary to avoid potential morbidity…
BACKGROUND: Hybrid endoscopic submucosal dissection (H-ESD), which incorporates ESD with endoscopic mucosal resection, has been developed and is increasingly utilized to overcome the technical complexity of conventional ESD (C-ESD)…
Resection of distal rectal lesions extending to the dentate line is technically challenging due to unique anatomical features and the ideal treatment strategy remains unclear…
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of colorectal lesions is technically demanding and carries a significant rate of noncurative resection…
BACKGROUND: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely accepted treatment option for superficial esophageal squamous neoplasms (SSN) in Asia and is supported by US society guidelines…
BACKGROUND: Esophageal stenosis is a potential risk after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), with incidence ranging from 70-90% among those with mucosal defects involving more than three-quarters of the circumference of the esophagus…
BACKGROUND: Esophageal epiphrenic diverticula (ED) are rare pulsion-type diverticulum in the distal esophagus that can develop in the setting of an underlying esophageal motility disorder as a result of the contractile dyscoordination between the distal esophagus and lower esophageal sphincter (LES…
